Making a Request

Request Headers

...

referer

...

https://www.di.no

...

The value should specify the address/URI of the webpage that linked to the resource being requested. Mandatory.

NOTE: Must include schema (http/https)

Encoding

...

Authentication

For this API the combination of referer and apiKey is used as authentication.
The apiKey provided when signing up for the service at DI Address Helper. The e-mail registered when signing up is responsible for approving domains used as referer.

When registering your account will be given a default number of requests each month. Remember to notify your contact person us to get a production-ready quota, and not just the testing-quota.

Making a Request

Returns a list of the streets that matches the streetName and countryCode. Note: street names may be filtered by city. Separate street name and city by a comma, i.e. "streetName,city"

Response

• Remember to URI Encode. All requests MUST be in UTF-8 (not ISO-8859-1). Scandinavian characters must be encoded, e.g. æ → %c3%a6. Otherwise there will be no results when searching for a street name with these characters.

Composing a Request

Take a look at the examples to see how the requests and responses may look. Note that the apiKey parameter must be present in each request. 

Step 1 - Get Street Collections

...

...

/{countryCode}/streetSearch/{streetName}

Request Headers

Request body

Take a look at the examples to see how the requests and responses may look.

Step 1 - Get Street Collections

/{countryCode}/streetSearch/{streetName}

Returns a list of the streets that matches the streetName and countryCode. Note: street names may be filtered by city. Separate street name and city by a comma, i.e. "streetName,city"

{
    "streets": [
        {
			"countryCode": String,
			"city": String",
            "streetName": String,           
            "streetIds": List<Integer> 	// A street has one or more id's
        }
    ],
	"totalResults": Integer
}

Step 2 - Get Street Numbers for Collection

/{countryCode}/streetNumberSearch/{streetIds}

Returns the street numbers that are related to the streetIds provided in the request (ids are comma-delimited). The query parameter, streetNumber, can be used to filter the street numbers.

{
    "streetNumbers": [
		{
            "streetNo": Integer,
            "addressId": Integer,
            "entrance": String,						// Present if a building has several entrances, where the value is the entrance name
            "houseType": String, 					// See the following examples 
            "deliveryPointId": Integer,
            "postalCode": String,
            "duplicateNumberAndEntrance": Boolean,  // Some streets have several entrances on the same street number. When duplicateNumberAndAddress is true, the houseType should be used to separate them to separate them
            "latitude": Number, 
            "latitudelongitude": Number,
			"showHouseholds": Boolean 			    // True if households exists on houseType "longitude": Number
block
        },
		...
	]
}

Step 3 - Get Floors

/{countryCode}/address/{deliveryPointId}/floors

Returns the floors available at a deliveryPointId

{
	{
       	"floorType": String, 		// The floor type represented by a single letter
       	"floorTypeName": String,	// The full word of the floor type (in Norwegian)
       	"floorNo": Integer
    },
    ...
}

Step 4 - Get Households on Floor

/{countryCode}/address/{deliveryPointId}/floor/{floorType}-{floorNo}/households

Returns the households on a given address and floor number.

By combining the floor type, floor number and flat number, the household can be represented following this standard (Norwegian article).

[
    {
        "flatNo": Integer,
        "deliveryPointId": Integer,
        "flatNoAlias": String
    },
    ...
]

...

Step 5 - Coverage / Distribution Support

/{countryCode}/address/{deliveryPointId}/distributionSupport/{customerSystem}-{productName}

Used to determine the distribution support for a given delivery point.

{
    "hasSupport": boolean,							// Defines if an address (deliveryPointId) has support for delivery. See remarks. 
    "coveredWeekdays": List<Boolean>,				// Shows the distribution support per weekday, starting on Monday. Does not consider holidays etc
    "distrDate": String, 							// "YYYY-MM-DD"
    "hasProductExclusion": Boolean,					// Set to true if the delivery point is excluded, all days. No delivery
    "deliveryPointId": Integer,						
    "keyDeviationWeekdays": Map<Integer, String> 	// Shows the key deviation per weekday, starting on Monday. The value indicates the issue
    "hasKeyDeviation": false,						// Tells whether there are any deviations in key access, eg. a key is broken. If true, the hasKeyDeviationWeekdays list can be used to determine which days are effected and how
    "deliveryPlace": "door"							// Where the user should pickup or put the packet. Default value "mailbox". See remarks
	"distrInfo": 									// Present if extendedTransportInfo is specified in the request
}

...

Step 6 - Distribution Dates

/{countryCode}/distributionDates/{customerSystem}-{productName}/{fromDate}/{toDate}

Gives a list of available distribution dates, independent of address. Note: if the date and delivery address (deliveryPointId) is determined, the distribution support should be used to confirm the date. 

{
    "product": String,				// Product Name
    "distributions": List<String> 	// Strings with dates "YYYY-MM-DD"
}

...

Trouble Shooting

Why do I get error "Referrer missing"?

Beware that every request MUST contain a "referer"-header. The refererer must be a full URL (with schema), and the API-account will get an approval email each time a new domain is used.
